COMBINED OILER AND OIL- -BOTTLE.

r SPECIFICATION" formingpart of Letters Patent No. 224,041, dated February 3,' 1880.

Application filed December 11, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, REUBEN BITTER, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Oilers and Oil-Bottles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap- Io pertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this s 'iecificatiou.

This invention has for its object to furnish an oiler which may also be used as a bottle in which the oil can be put up for sale.

It consists in a bottle provided with an elastic top, having a cover provided with a central flanged opening, which fits over the neck of the bottle, all of which will be hereinafter fully explained.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a bottlehaving a lamp burner and shade placed thereon. Fig. 2 is a side eleva- 2 5 tion of a bottle provided with an oiler; and

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of Fig. 2, part in section.

a is the bottle, having a wide month, which is covered by a flexible top, a, on which is fixed the neck a, pro 'ided with an inner thread to receive the oiler-nozzle c and nightlamp burner d. b is a dome-shaped cover placed over the top of the bottle, to which it is rigidly secured by a flange, b, which fits 3 5 down over the outer side of the said bottle-top a, as shown. The cover I) is'p'rovided with a central opening and an upward projecting flange, b which fits over andiaround the neck a The neck a projects above the upper end 0 of the flange 12 so as to give the necessary vertical play to the oiler in depressing the flexible top a to cause the oil to flow out of the bottle. The flange 71 supports the neck a and prevents the latter from being thrown 5 laterally by unequal pressure exerted on one side of the oiler.

Oilers constructed heretofore on flexible tops have been very liable to get out of order and become unserviceable, because the press- The neck a is supported by the flange b so that it must necessarily move in a vertical line whether the pressure be exerted equally on both sides or wholly on one side of the oilennozzle c. The oiler-nozzle c is provided with the flange or finger-rest c, and has a 66 packing, 0 under the finger-rest, as in ordinary oilers. I

d is an ordinary night-lamp burner which I. have adapted to be employed on my bottle. Below the burner, and around its nipple or screw, I have constructed a flange, d, out over the neck a and flange b and down onto the top b, as shown in Fig. 1. When. the nightlamp is placed on the bottle the edge of the flange d rests on the top I), and prevents the 7 neck a from being pressed downward.

The bottle maybe made at very little cost, filled with oil, closed by a suitable stopper, and sold as a bottle of oil.

The purchaser can, at the time of first purchase, procure the oiler-nozzle c and nightlamp d. The device may then be used either as an oiler for machinery or for a night-lamp, as will be clearly understood by reference to the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination, with the bottle at, having the flexible top a and neck a, adapted to receive and hold the end of an oiler-nozzle, of the cover I), having a central opening.and flange b fitting over and around the neck (t substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of November, 1879. i

REUBEN BITTER.
